thesetat2013 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Wow! He has won a whopping $682 and fined $5000. I guess he thought he was playing Thai tennis. With his earnings so low it's no wonder he bet on his own games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he admitted the charge of betting to the TIU, but was found guilty of failing to cooperate with them. Hmm, something's missing here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parryhandy Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 The TIU are an absolute joke of an organisation that just bully insignificant small fry. They obviously had bookmaker account records in his name but it sounds like he refused name others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berybert Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 He may have only won 628 dollars but don't forget he is still a young man and has the chance to earn more. We have 70 yr old online poker players on this forum who would have given their right arm to have earned that much in their lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oziex1 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Modern sport is a mess, match fixing in Tennis, Cricket and many other sports no doubt the Olympics and the Football world cup bidding process totally corrupt. Drug use rife in all codes at many levels. Not very sporting any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing's missing, he was found guilty of two charges, one of betting and the other of failing to cooperate with the TIU. Could not disagree with you more. If he pled guilty that is about as cooperative as you can get. Why then was he found guilty of not cooperating? And in relation to what? Can't be about his betting, he admitted that.
